Comment on Do "rich" superheroes have to be rich in order for the story to work?

I say that for Batman and Tony Stark, their super power is their brain. They design these gadgets that turn their brain power into brawn power. It only makes sense that someone as smart and innovative as that could easily start up a successful tech company.
And I’m pretty sure the first iron Man suit was built without any access to money.

The first Ironman suit was built by taking components to from (probably) multi-million dollar missiles, many other comments provided by an overly rich asshole benefactor.
And that’s ignoring the ongoing costs of maintaining the suit, or R and D on new suits, nor the costs of liability and litigation when you fuck up and accidentally murder an innocent.
So no. It’s not even close to a possibility in any context where reality can’t just be dealt with through handwaivium.

Ironheart did it.
